Well my ‘everyone has me on ignore’ paranoia just went through the roof! :wink:

let’s decide:

England forward Lianne Sanderson, a former team-mate of Morgan, was among those to criticise the celebration, calling it “distasteful”.

  • why would anyone be offended at this
  • offensive celebration

Love how the people frothing about this are the exact people who’d call you a snowflake for not enjoying their Roy chubby brown dvds

More than a hint of sexism to the reaction too innit

I was scalded by hot tea when young. I find this very offensive.

Also, those people tend to be very easily offended despite their claims, like for example if you ask them to use certain pronouns for transgender people, or say ‘Seasons Greetings’ instead of Happy Christmas. It comes down to the other point that’s been made about a lot of us have a list in our heads about what’s okay to be offended about (i.e. what we care about) and what’s not (i.e. what we don’t care about), just some people have a bit more self-awareness about it than others.

They were talking about this on Football Weekly.

It’s fine to mock the English for drinking tea, but it can be a dodgy road to go down.

Also it’s not really right to celebrate by mocking the opposition though right? (Although I enjoyed Gavin Williams doing the ayatollah when he scored against Swansea)

quite like this completely hammed up explanation though

Morgan also insists her celebration was a tribute to the phrase “that’s the tea”, slang for gossip or interesting news, frequently used on social media by Game of Thrones actress Sophie Turner.

Elaborate

Also think it’s people who don’t like change and aren’t self-aware enough to realise that they might be wrong about something. I actually think it’s a form of fear, because it takes guts to admit you’re wrong. Although I struggle to see what’s so hard about saying, “Yes, I suppose Seasons Greetings is more inclusive, I have failed to consider the feelings of non-Christians”.

I think it’s annoying, and I personally fucking hate the ‘I can’t hear you’ thing that some players do as a celebration, but winding up opposition fans is part of football.

I’d like to see inciting opposition fans be a yellow card offence personally, certainly more than removing your shirt or getting into the crowd. The gesture would have to be done at the fans to get a booking - drink tea at your own fans, fine.

If we’d equalised and mimed some police brutality and gun violence it would’ve been a bit on the nose

I can’t help it if you’re all snowflakes

Edit: I’m bottling this one in case it gets read out of context and people don’t realise it was meant to be funny (bit meta)

Would be an elaborate celebration to dress up as a police officer and shoot an unarmed black person

idk, an american person celebrating a goal against england by pretending to drink tea = fine. an english person celebrating a goal against kosovo by pretending to be a bomber aircraft = not fine.
